The Fruits of Life

This mixed media collage painting was very challenging for me. I started it so long ago on heavy watercolor paper and was trying a new collage technique that didn't quite work out but I liked the images so I kept at it. I had no idea where I was going with it once my failed attempts were fixed so every day I did a little something to it and this is the result. I even added a little something else to it after I took this photo but was too lazy to set up the camera again before I took it into the gallery.

After I finished it I mounted a natural handmade paper on wood and then mounted the painting on top and attached some wire to the back for hanging. It always amazes me how I start out with a certain direction in mind and it turns out to have a mind of it's own. I do wonder how I manage to accomplish things sometimes.Oh well, I got it done and that's what counts in the end.

I'm so glad you stopped by...

I'm so grateful to be able to share my art with others. I'm mixed media and love doing lots of different mediums. My main stay is calligraphy of course and most of my art has words in them, hence "The Word is ART". Hope you like what you see and come back often.

Have a blessed day.Renee
